Vintage 2023

Rich ruby red colour, with a delicate woody note on the nose, which is the result of approx. 45% of the wine being aged for a short time in barriques. Fresh aroma of cherries, dense, pithy flavour with good structure and length. The tannins are still strong, but by no means aggressive. A wine with a strong personality from Antinori's Tenuta di Biserno winery. SUPERIORE.DE

Impressively structured Chardonnay from the Kreuth estate. The western vineyard produces a very elegant wine that impresses with its fine acidity, creamy structure and elegant interplay of flavours. Bright, radiant straw yellow in colour. Complex and balanced, with an abundance of tropical fruit, underlined by a sensual salty minerality. Long and persistent. SUPERIORE.DE

New world meets old world. Exciting Sauvignon Bianco with lots of exotic fruits such as mango and lemon, plus a noble spiciness and notes of green tomato leaves, white stone and quince. Full-bodied and creamy on the palate with a tangy, electrifying acidity on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Transparent straw yellow with silver reflections. Aromatic nose, gooseberry, grapefruit, elderflower, somewhat reminiscent of drops. Juicy, tangy and salty on the palate, medium-bodied, clear acidity, lively flavour and balanced final." Falstaff

"Subtle flavours of sliced lemons, green melon and hints of stones and dry earth. Medium body with fresh acidity and a crisp and tangy finish. Classic sauvignon blanc. Subtle, bright and clear." James Suckling

Bright yellow with green reflections. Fruity and delicate bouquet of white and yellow flowers. Soft, full-bodied and beautifully harmonious and balanced on the palate. Good structure, perfectly balanced, refreshing acidity, medium-long and fruity finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Olio CampoCorto is the result of years of work and study. It is mainly produced from olives of the Frantoio variety, the most typical and characteristic variety of this region. The olive groves are located among the woods of Badia a Coltibuono in an unspoilt environment. Golden yellow colour with green reflections. It has an intense herbaceous aroma with notes of artichoke and aromatic herbs. The flavour is full of character, intense and lively with a spicy aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright green olive oil from the groves of the Sicilian winery Gulfi. The Hyblean Mountains, also known as Monti Iblei, are home to this extra virgin olive oil from controlled organic cultivation. The olives, mainly of the Tonda Iblea variety, are carefully picked by hand and pressed exclusively by mechanical means.

Intensely fruity in flavour, with fine nuances of fresh grass and tart artichoke. The flavour has a fruity weight and an inviting, light spiciness. A delicious accompaniment on its own or with aromatic bruschetta, but also perfect with grilled vegetables or fish. SUPERIORE.DE

As exceptionally good as the wines from San Fabiano Calcinaia, their olive oil is also world class. Intense grass and fruit aromas on the nose, the flavour with fine notes of bitter almond and fresh herbs. SUPERIORE.DE

This fine Olio di Oliva Extra Vergine from Le Cinciole comes from Panzano and exclusively from organic cultivation. Four authentic varieties combine to create a multi-layered flavour: Frantoio, Moraiolo, Corregiolo and Leccino. Once the fruit has reached optimum ripeness, it is carefully harvested by hand and gently cold-pressed in the oil mill within 48 hours.

An effort that is not only reflected in the diverse flavours: The appearance is juicy green with golden reflections. The flavour of this olive oil is sparkling clean and lingering. With a slightly savoury note, it is nevertheless delicately fruity and elegant. Enjoy this high-quality vegetable oil pure on toasted bread or with burrata. Buon appetito! SUPERIORE.DE

A small part of the olive groves around Podere Albereto is reserved exclusively for the production of this very special oil, which is only bottled in very limited quantities (5,000 bottles). The colour of Albereto extra virgin olive oil is an intense emerald green. It has an intense, herbaceous fragrance with notes of asparagus and aromatic herbs such as tarragon and sage. The flavour is intense and strong, with a characteristic aftertaste reminiscent of the vegetables perceived by the nose. SUPERIORE.DE

High-quality, organic olive oil from the first cold pressing. A wonderful addition to Mediterranean cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

"There are around 1,500 olive trees on our estate. Many of them are centuries old. And we feel an obligation towards them, a historical memory that flows through our veins today. I would never dare to say that our oil is the best oil in the world. There is no such thing as the best oil in the world. I would say that there are certainly others who look after their trees and their olives like we do, but none who do it more than we do.

Our trees have always been grown organically. They are carefully pruned every two years. The olives are all picked by hand and the day's harvest is pressed every evening. The oil is decanted and naturally clarified until February/March and bottled without filtration. Our volcanic soils give it sweetness, finesse and flavour. The cold nights limit the presence of the oil fly. The result is an excellent extra virgin olive oil." Marco de Grazia, Eigentümer

The production of high-quality olive oils at Pandolfa dates back to the 16th century. The olives all come from the company's own olive groves around Predappio. Intense, bright yellow-green colour. The aroma is reminiscent of freshly picked olives with an intense flavour of wild herbs. On the palate, it is elegant and delicate, with a sweet note and a slight sharpness that diminishes with further months of storage (cool and dark). SUPERIORE.DE

"A little and a lot. Some call it Pinot Blanc. And yet. Our Pinot Bianco Eichhorn has an Alpine-Mediterranean flavour: bright and flowery like alpine meadows, long-lasting and spicy like the sea." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

Eichhorn Pinot Blanc has a light golden colour with beautiful aromas of lemon peel, orange marmalade, some smoke and ripe pears. The flavour is clear, fruity and long. Modern classicism and casual elegance from Manincor. SUPERIORE.DE

Planeta's famous Chardonnay exudes a large and rich bouquet with aromas of apricot, apple, lemon, honey and lime. On the palate, the same intense flavours, delicate melting paired with fruity freshness and beautiful length. A Sicilian white wine at the highest level since its debut vintage in 1995, it definitely needs a few years to mature in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

This beguiling Gewürztraminer is one of the most exciting growths in the wine world and is the favourite of Italians. Golden yellow in colour with an aromatic potpourri of roses, exotic fruits and oriental spices. Powerful and complex in flavour with a subtle residual sweetness and a long finish. Gewürztraminer Sanct Valentin is an absolute top wine that promises wonderful drinking pleasure even after many years. SUPERIORE.DE

"A flavorful and fragrant gewurztraminer showing spices, dried peaches, lychees and white blossoms. Fresh, fleshy and medium- to full-bodied with low acidity and a light touch of bitterness in the round finish." James Suckling

The Fanti family owns over 8,500 olive trees of typical Tuscan varieties, all planted in the hilly areas of the estate. The extra virgin olive oil is produced in the estate's traditional oil mill, where the olives are processed at room temperature to preserve their natural flavours. Multi-layered and of powerful finesse with aromas of freshly cut grass, notes of honey and sultanas. The flavour is peppery and spicy. SUPERIORE.DE

Sauvignon Sanct Valentin is probably the best-known white wine from the St. Michael-Eppan winery. It has been vinified from carefully selected single vineyards at the foot of the Mendelstock since 1989. Yellow-green in colour, dense bouquet of yellow fruit, gooseberry, elderflower and ripe redcurrant, smooth on the palate with elegant, floral fullness and crisp acidity. A great and very savoury top wine and probably the most award-winning white from the internationally highly respected winegrowers' cooperative. SUPERIORE.DE

"Delicate golden yellow with green reflections. The first nose has a clear green flavour of gooseberry and green mango, with a little air clearly elderberry and spicy herbs. Slightly spicy on the palate, dominated by citrus fruits, well-integrated acidity and a balanced, medium-long finish." Falstaff

"Spicy white fruit, elegant gooseberries and sea salt. Delicious and slightly salty, with a medium body and a tactile, mealy finish. A pure, outstanding South Tyrolean Sauvignon Blanc that you can enjoy right now." James Suckling

Conte della Vipera is a tribute to the first owners of the castle and the label refers to the 13th century chapel of St John, which is located on the estate. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 250 to 350 metres above sea level on soils rich in fossilised marine deposits.

The sophistication of this wine is largely due to the composition of the grape varieties: fresh, vertical and aromatic Sauvignon Bianco, soft and tropical Sémillon. Straw yellow in colour with bright green reflections. The bouquet is full and broad and pleasant with notes of flowers, white fruit and pineapple, which combine with citrus notes. A pleasant freshness on the palate, then notes of bergamot and grapefruit on the final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant straw yellow with white-golden nuances. Intense nose of ripe apricot, meadow herbs and a hint of beeswax. Very direct and fruity on the palate with grapefruit flavours and racy acidity right through to the finish." Falstaff

"The 2023 Conte della Vipera is thoroughly savoury, with dusty dried flowers, wild herbs and crushed green apples. It soothes with its cooling acidity, while a wave of tart fruit and minerals drench it. The lemony concentration tingles the cheeks as the 2023 tapers off with a medium length yet lingering tension that calls the taster back to the glass for more." Vinous

"Lean, balanced and fresh, with fragrant chive blossom, grapefruit peel and white pepper accentuating the ripe green melon and peach flavours. Flinty finish." Wine Spectator

"Silent greatness. Noble is he who is self-sufficient. Perhaps a little demanding and in any case sensitive. But has many sought-after qualities: Clarity, freshness, complexity." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

Sparkling green-silver Sauvignon Blanc with intense and inviting aromas of grapefruit, lychee and white peach. Full-bodied and very racy in the attack, then mineral and elegantly slender with a fine acidity and subtle extract-sweet core. Very long. SUPERIORE.DE

The four wines resulting from the collaboration between Dolce & Gabbana and Donnafugata show attention to detail and unconditional love for Sicily. They are the perfect expression of two top companies "Made in Italy". They represent the aesthetic fusion of craftsmanship, creativity and Sicilian passion. Together, they have created a unique collection of wines and packaging that emotionally capture Sicilian culture and lifestyle and express a clear commitment to the beauty and tradition of Sicily.

Bright pale pink colour. Floral, fragrant bouquet of jasmine blossoms and rose petals as well as fine fruity notes of white peach and bergamot. Fresh, elegant and mineral on the palate, great length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Delicate salmon pink colour. Peach, black tea, bergamot and light berry notes on the nose. Off-dry on the palate, again bright red fruit, very vertical, fresh, slightly juicy, light to medium body." Falstaff

"The wonderfully zesty 2023 Rosa has a pretty, pale pink colour and a bouquet of green apples with lime and a hint of confectionery spice. It opens with a pretty inner sweetness that fades into vibrant white pear and orange zest. A core of vibrant acidity provides a fantastic energy on the inside. The result is a beautiful, crisp and refreshing wine with a savoury note - a fantastic interpretation of the Rosa di Donnafugata, despite the difficulties of the vintage." Vinous

IbBianco is a blend of Vermentino and Grechetto and smells wonderfully of candied apricot and peach. Elegance and finesse in the powerful fruity and complex taste, which lasts long and with a certain coolness and pleasant freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

Sauvignon Bianco combines the intense flavour of Sauvignon with the heady and rich style of Meroi. Lemon oils and wild herbal tones combine with a hint of ground ginger. It is round in texture but with a lively acid balance that conveys elegance with green citrus and penetrating spice. The finish is long and colourful, leaving a hint of lime and a residual acidity that keeps the expression fresh. Exciting contrast of savoury and sweet. The 2023 is a large-format Sauvignon Blanc that maintains its balance at all times. SUPERIORE.DE

Deep golden yellow in colour. Sweet, spicy aromas of acacia honey, burnt sugar, mango and liquorice on the lush nose. The palate is also multi-layered and rich with opulent flavours of grapefruit, passion fruit, acacia honey and cinnamon, and more than enough acidity to keep it from being broad. The finish is long and beguilingly sweet. Roen is hardly less complex than its more famous "big brother" Terminum and is certainly a spectacular sweet wine. Here, residual sugar, acidity and alcohol content are in marvellous harmony. SUPERIORE.DE

The Andreola family business in Col San Martino was founded in 1984 by Nazzareno Pola in the heart of the Valdobbiadene wine-growing region. In his honour, a wonderful Prosecco Superiore is produced here every year in small batches, which has now received the highest award in Gambero Rosso for the first time with the 2023 vintage. For Stefano Pola, the Etichetta del Fondatore represents the highest expression of finesse and olfactory elegance that the Glera grape can give in the core zone of Prosecco Superiore - combined with the verticality and juiciness that the soils give it, without ever losing its lightness and drinkability.

Bright, sparkling straw yellow with delicate reflections. Jasmine, crisp apple and fresh peach on the nose, with subtle hints of citrus fruit and incense, very inviting. Very harmonious on the palate with an airy perlage, crystalline in the middle, with pronounced fruit, elegantly floating, sparkling clean, with a long final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, sparkling straw yellow colour. Fragrant and distinctive on the nose of juicy pear, ice candy and elderflower, with hints of jasmine and a subtle mineral note on the finish. Soft and with a fine mousse on the palate, elegant balance of fresh acidity and sweet fruit." Falstaff
